Lake Charles Teacher Arrested on Student Related Sex Charges
Tuesday in Lake Charles, the last day of April saw the CPSO responding to a complaint from the administration at Lake Charles Charter Academy regarding a teacher-student relationship.
The deputies arrested Deidre R Smith, 34, for allegedly having inappropriate contact with one of her ten-year-old students. It was learned this may have included sexual intercourse since the end of 2018.
